My name is Emily Maree (better known as
Em). I live in Galway, Ireland but grew up in London, where my fashion sense
originates! I am a Journalism & New Media graduate, fashion journalist
& blogger.

How
would you describe your sense of style?

My sense of style is eclectic, I
suppose. I take ideas from people on the street, magazines but mix it with my
own personal tastes! I don’t have a particular look I go for; it depends on my
mood that day! I improvise a lot with style and love to dress up when I’m on my
days off! I love red lipsticks and leather jackets but I go through phases of
style. At the moment I’ve got quite a preppy style and getting quite into high
fashion – buying statement pieces instead of entire outfits.

Where
do you get your inspiration for each look?

I’m inspired by lots of different
things. People’s personal style, colours I see on the street. I recently saw a
very brightly coloured house and then bought a jacket with the same colour –
things like that really inspire me.

What’s
your ‘Go-To’ outfit for when you need to get ready in a hurry?

I love my leather leggings and
American Apparel disco pants so usually those with a nice top or blouse and a
jacket. Then throw on a pair of floral Doc Martens or leather boots! It does
depend on the season though because I like to play with fashion. I usually have
an outfit picked out in my head before I go to bed the night before if there is
somewhere I need to go.

What
are the three favourite things in your closet?

My Topshop black fur gilet, a
Jones & Jones floral dress and a third-hand pair of Louboutins that my best
mate gave me, I’m almost scared to wear them I love them so much! But I have so
many pieces I love, it’s so hard to pick!

What
are some of your favorite shops or websites for clothes, shoes and accessories?

I loveASOS, it’s my go to for absolutely everything! Missguided is a
good one and Topshop is great online. I usually check out the clothing online
before I go and buy! On the high street I love Topshop, H&M and Pull &
Bear and of course, Victoria’s Secret for lingerie.
